Fees

Clients don't pay to create an account, post jobs or find contractors, and contractors join for free. During the beta there's no platform fee, so the only fee is the oversight fee on company-managed materials, shown in the app before anyone commits.

Platform fee

Free during beta. No platform fee on any job signed during the beta, even after the beta ends.

The oversight fee still applies to company-managed materials.
Everything else, including payments, cancellations, refunds and disputes, works the same during the beta.

Paid by the client · company-managed jobs only

Oversight fee

5% of the materials total, minimum R150

It only applies when the client chooses company-managed materials, where EazyConstruct sources, orders and delivers the materials. Self-managed jobs have no oversight fee.
It's shown before the client chooses company-managed materials, and itemised on the quote.
It's fixed when the quote is signed, and paid together with the materials.
If the job is cancelled before EazyConstruct orders the materials, it's refunded in full. Once the materials have been ordered, it isn't refunded.

Examples: materials of R10,000 mean an oversight fee of R500. Materials of R2,000 would come to R100, so the minimum of R150 applies.

Founding contractors

Contractors who join during the beta are founding contractors. They get their first 3 months of Pro free once subscriptions start.

Pricing will be announced in the app and by email at least 30 days before it changes.

Good to know

EazyConstruct doesn't charge a separate cancellation fee.
Fees include VAT where VAT applies.
EazyConstruct may change its rates. A change never applies to a quote that was signed before it took effect.

The full rules are in the Platform Terms, clause 14 (and clause 1.5 for the beta) and theCancellation and Refund Policy, clause 5.
